In addition to reporting the volume of job listings by state and by industry each month on LinkUp.com, we’ve also started looking at the top 75 job titles from our job search engine. Below are the top 75 job titles found on LinkUp in April. (The list is EXACT job titles so there may be [...]
LinkUp’s job listing report for February showed that nearly every single industry tracked by the job search engine experienced a decline in new and total job listings for the month.

After fixing two significant problems with our data (normalizing the data to account for a constantly growing database of companies and not counting duplicate jobs that companies re-post to their corporate web site every day with new URLs), we have finally generated an accurate, insightful report that provides a completely unique snapshot of the U.S. [...]
Last Friday, KillerStartups.com featured LinkUp in its daily poll (the site asks readers to vote on which of the selected startups will become the next ‘killer’ site on the web).

LinkUp aggregates and publishes job listings directly from company web sites themselves. The September and October jobs data includes job listings from 9,753 companies [...]
One of the recent changes we have made in examining LinkUp jobs classifieds data is to report the number of new and total jobs listed on the site by job category and compare them to the previous month.

The number of total job openings posted on corporate web sites dropped 3% from July, while the total number of new openings posted showed [...]
